Don’t let life irritate you. These things make everyday chores easier

Maybe your eyes aren’t what they once were. Probably, given the demands of modern life, your hands are painful. Or maybe you are as spry as ever, but you don’t like to be irritated by the mundane. These products improve your life and make everyday tasks easier by removing the irritants of daily living — opening cans and jars, finding something to wear, feeding the cat, and more.

A better book light

If you can’t see the page, you can’t read it. And getting up to turn the light on is not always worth it. But this book light is worth it. Snap it onto the page — or the craft, tablet, or magazine — you are trying to read, and it will throw light right where you want it.

This brilliant cabinet-mounted jar opener

If your hands hurt — even if they don’t — getting jars open can be difficult. This under-counter jar opener will handle it for you. Once it’s mounted, you stick the jar lid in it and turn. You can use both hands if you want. It works every time with no pain.

This insect trap that works

Fruit flies, soil gnats, and other irritating indoor pests are all fooled by this cute and clever little Katchy indoor insect trap. It emits a tempting light that lures bugs close. Once they fly into the light, it catches them in a vortex of wind from its fan that pulls them inside. Once inside, they get stuck to the sticky pads on the bottom. Within days, their population dwindles to nothing … and stays that way. All you do is replace the sticky mats occasionally.

The kibble bot

If your cat is a clever feline trickster who is constantly trying to gaslight you into believing you haven’t fed her, need to feed her earlier than usual, or feed her more because she is pretty, you need to take matters out of your easily persuaded hands and put them under the control of this automatic cat feeder.

Set a schedule. Fill it with kibble. Let your cat rage at the machine for more food.

A water filter for your tap water

Forget the bottled water, expensive systems, and water-filtering pitchers. This under-sink water filter installs once — it’s easy — and lasts for five years. It filters the cold water coming out of your tap, and it does a better job than that Brita pitcher you have to constantly fill.

This excellent bidet attachment

Once you go bidet, there is no going back. And this is the Porshe of inexpensive bidets. With a front and back nozzle, it is a particularly female-friendly attachment that sits under the toilet seat. Pull up on the front dial to deliver a shower to your nether bits that will get you squeaky clean down there in seconds, and that is a very pleasant experience.

It takes a minute to install, but it’s not difficult. Unscrew some things, screw some other things in, and you are off to the rear washes. Must have!

A lazy Susan for your spices

Create an easy-access spot for your most-used spices, oils, vinegar, and condiments right next to the stove so that whipping up a stir-fry or stew is easy.

This acacia wood lazy susan is affordable, pretty, and comes in six sizes. Measure your space and get the one that works.

It’s a great way to organize your daily-use lotions and cosmetics on the vanity, too.

This carpet cleaner

Your pet isn’t perfect. But you don’t have to freak out about it.

This steam cleaner will take care of the mess on the couch from chewing a bone and the pee accident that’s been happening in secret on the carpet.

Fill it with a good liquid cleaner, turn it on, and wash the spot right where it is. Easy, fast, and effective.

These Bins To Organize the Fridge

End the endless hunt for what you need in the fridge by filing your food by category. These clear plastic bins with built-in handles are the way to do that.

When you want a condiment, pull out the bin that holds them all. Looking for a vegetable? Those, too, are all in a predictable place. These are clear, so you can see what’s in them, have handles in the front, and are designed for fridges.

A robot to clean the litter box

The litter box — and the smells it emits — is the worst part of living with a cat. What if you had a robot that cleaned it within minutes of the cat using it? What if all you had to do was remove a bag when an app on your phone tells you it’s full? This is the reality of living with the Litter Robot 4. It handles it and it does it STAT. The cat loves this treatment. A clean litter box every time? Meaow! But you will love it more! It’s a bit spendy but totally worth it.
